Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing process of winding yarn, the raw material for textiles, onto bobbins or cones using a winding machine, and shaping it suitably for the next process or shipment.
Description
Yarn winders set raw yarn into winding machines (such as bobbin winders), adjust tension and speed, and wind the yarn uniformly onto bobbins or cones. They monitor the machine's operation status, detect and address defects such as uneven winding or yarn breaks. They supply yarn in shapes and sizes suitable for the next processes like weaving or knitting, or for packaging in preparation for shipment. Work is required in accordance with production plans and quality standards, and they may also perform machine maintenance, 5S activities, and improvement proposals.
Future Outlook
While the domestic textile industry is shrinking in scale, the introduction of automation and labor-saving equipment is progressing, so demand for yarn winders with advanced machine operation and quality management skills is expected to be maintained to a certain extent.
